So, which expense was very generously borne by
the insurance companies. The addition to the
barn and general repairs on the asylum, costing
about $4O5 and the removing of old and rebuilding
of new chimneys on the building together with
pairs on water closets, under the supervision of
Major Maher, comprise the work done on buildings
by the authority of your committee. Plans have
been completed for the proper grading and beauti

autumn. T. MULHoLLAND, CHAIRMAN.

emit.
Sunday afternoon imm ediately before the
Howard avenue church Sunday school closed
Mr. Charles B. Foote, the retiring superin-
tendent, who finished his term of Office JAN
uary 2, received a call to come forward to
the desk. Mr.. Foote being an ''old soldier"
obeyed orders. All eyes were instantly upon
him and everybody seemed to know in
stinctively that something of special interest
was to occur. Mr.. F. B. Clemmons, mem
Der of the school, addressed Mr.. Foote, and
in behalf of the school and the corps of
teachers presented Mr.. Foete with testi-
monial of their high appreciation of his
long, faithful and valuable services in this
Sunday school, most of the time as superin-
tendent. The testimonial was handsomely
engrossed by B. T. Buck and in beautiful
frame. The testimonial read as follows:
The members of the Howard avenue Congre a
tional Sunday school TO Deacon Charles B. Foote.
In recognition of your service and labor of love

Masters service, as officers teachers and scholars
desire to express to you by this testimonial their
associations their deep regret because you feel
impelled to retire for the present from some of
these resp. nsibtes and their earnest hope that in
| the weekly sessions of our Sunday school your
presence may still be and felt for many years
to come, and shoulder to shoulder press for
ward in the common cause of Christ and human-
ity.
May grace, mercy aud peace abide with you and
with our school continually.
New Haven Jan. 9th, 1887.
Mr. Foote, rallying from the surprise, re-
sponded in fitting words his grateful appreci-
alton of the kind token of friendship and
regard, and though a veteran of the old
Quinnipiac Debating club and long practised
in speaking otherwise, his words had this
time the strong eloquence Of deep and sincere
emotion which spoke more potently than
| words Mr.. Foote has been in this Sunday
school thirty-two years either as superintend-
emit or teacher and was one of the pioneers in
forming the school. The handsome testimo

Decay Of Family Life.

In England they are beginning to
deplore the decay of family life. An
exchange says: "The attention, SYM
pathies and energies of the family are
all claimed by engagements that take
them from home. Almost every night
brings a meeting of some kind. Con-
certs, lectures, classes, temperance
meetings, missions in endless variety
and exhausting continuity, crowd every
evening in the week. The members of
the family go divergent ways, as their
various pursuits and hobbies lead them.
They meet only at hurried meals. Their
life knows no repose, and their very
happiness becomes dependent upon ex-
ternal excitement. An evening with
out engagement, finding them with no
home pursuit, is felt to be tedious and
almost insupportable. And it declares
that even in professedly Christian
households family prayer is regarded as
impracticable." The description of the
state of things in London applies to
thousands of families in this country.
Let it be carefully read, and the happier
they will be who do not find in it de-
scription of their ways of living. Wise
will those be who, finding it true de-
oOliptloh, az OnCO lay luc dAe VI COlu-
mon sense at the root of such poison
Gus tree. The division of life into sea-
sons for country and city has much to
do with this state of affairs. Churches
and societies feel that they have but
little time in which to work. Nor is
this condition of things confined to
cities. The large towns and even the
rural districts speedily initiate, as far
as they can, and reproduce the life of
cities. Many family has no time for
morning prayer, the late hours of the
preceding night compelling very late
rising, and the day begins with hurried
dressing, hurried breakfast, and then a
rush to business or to school. Do not
be driven into such way of living by
fashion, by business, by philanthropy,
by the Sunday-school, or even by the
church.-The Christian Adcocate.

Our Shepherd.

Jesus tells of the dividing of the
sheep from the goats, just as the shep-
herd opens the door of the enclosure
that is surrounded by thorn-bushes and
which door is composed of few sticks
laid crosswise at the entrance, to let
the goats go out. They climb the hills,
and for some tender tufts of grass will
Chamber up the rocks, and do not go
back to the fold until night. But the
hot sun is too trying for the tender
sheep, so they are kept in until near
sunset, then are allowed to Craze
through the hours of the night until
morning. The life of the shepherd is
a trying one; he is isolated from his
family a great deal of the time, but he
cheers his weary nature by playing
upon the flute or flageolet. He be-
comes more and more weary and falls
asleep. The sheep would wander away
into danger, but the shepherd knows
that, and, as a writer tells us, he" wears
on his right arm a wooden band, often
tastefully knit by his mother, wife or
sister. When he sits down in the pas
ture he calls to him one of the leaders
Gan experienced old ram carrying a
belD, and ties the long, loose end of the
cord or band to his horns" When the

sheep are likely to stray the efforts Of
the leader to follow them and the tink-
ling of the bell will awaken the shep-
herd. Christ, our Shepherd, leads US
through the wilderness, in the green
pastures that his love has provided, be-
side the still waters of peace. Even in
the valley of the shadow of death his
precious presence takes away all fear
of evil and fills our hearts with COM
fort. Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow us all the way to the end of life
and into the " forever with the Lord :"

The husband who can read the following
without feeling the mist fast gathering in
lis eyes is harder-hearted than we are:
Raise my pillow, husband dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath,
And these shadows stealing slowly
Must, know, be those of death;
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand
Yours that ever has sustained me
To the borders of this land
For your God and mine-our Father,
Thence shall ever lead me on,
Where, upon throne eternal,
sits his and only Son.
I've had visions and been dreaming
Ger the past of joy and pain;
Year by year I've wandered backward
Till was child again;
Dreams of girhoOd and the moment
when stood your wife and bride
How my heart thrilled with loves triumph
In that hour of womans pride.
Dreamed of thee and all the earth.cords
Firmly twined around my heart
Oh! the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew that we must part
II has passed-and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend or brother
He'll he with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portals
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal
And it's he that bids me come.
When lifes trials wait around thee,
And its Ginning pillows swell
Thou'll thank heaven that I'm spared them,
ThOu'll then feel that all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside
My last blessings let them keep;
But they're seepingdo not wake them
They'll learn enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake;
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer darling,
This, the last day of my life,
For tomorrow shall never
Answer when you call me wife"
Fare thee well, my noble husband
Faint not meath the Christening rod;
Throw your strong arm round our children,
Keep them close to thee-and God.

WHAT A CHANGE.-A few short
weeks ago that young girl was the per-
sonification of health, vigor and beauty.
The blush upon her cheeks rivalled
that of the rose; her step was light and
buoyant, her every movement was
revelation of perfect physical health.
Yet now she is pallid and haggard and
her superintendent vitality has given
place to strange dizziness and lassi-
tude. What has caused this change?

of Elder Berry.
I'm afraid he's too powerful. We
can't stand it.
How's that?
Well, you see he preached a trial
sermon on salvation, and every un-
repentant sinner in the audience
came up in front and joined the
church. SO we engaged him. The
next Sunday he preached on the
duty of marriage, and every bache-
lor and widower in the congregation
hooked on to an old maid and was
married before Sunday night. He
got s. fee from each couple. But
the worst came last Sunday. He
preached upon the duty Of giving
all to the Lord, and / hope l may
never see if two didn't strain their
backs carrying around the contri-
button baskets, they were so loaded
down with silver. When the con-
gregation was dismissed it was just
like leaving a faro bank-there
wasn't cent in the crowd. The
house had all the money. We can't
stand such eloquence.
